Saw the reviews and had to visit myself. So much fun learning about the Panhandle Plains. My 8 year old loved it, her favorite part was Pioneer Town. Really enjoyed our visit and we learned so much.

Having been to the varied Smithsonians, this is either equal to or exceeds the collection of American History. From wagons to Autos, from dinosaurs to drilling for oil, this museum surpasses many museums. The artifacts are real and not just a diorama. I will be back to learn more...totally great place!

Was here about ten years ago, very nice. Supposedly closed for several months now because it needs 110million dollar upgrade to the fire suppression system ... What!!! Trump's new ballroom is gonna be $250million total.

This is a phenomenal find. We took a day to explore the exhibits to include dinosaurs, oil exploration and drilling, indigenous people, cattle ranchers, and cow boys. The auto and firearm exhibits were my favorite. Parking is behind the building with the entrance on 4th. If you'r disabled there is parking in this lot near the back door. Ignore the sign at the rear entrance to go around front. The door is open, and you can ask the security guard to walk through to the front ticket counter.

I have wanted to visit the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum for a few years, but it is closed until they can fix some things in the building

This was the place to go for families that enjoy learning. The interactive learning was the best part for my children. The art galleries were amazing and wonderful. The bone exhibit was quite spectacular. The best part is that it took two and a half hours to thoroughly see all that there was to see. It is definitely worth the money.

This was a very informative museum. There were several hands on type of exhibits for the little ones. Our daughter was able to sit in a side saddle and a regular saddle, open drawers to reveal artifacts on display, and an Adobe structure to crawl through. There was a nice historical video playing in the movie theatre. This was a nice way to spend an hour or two. Entrance fees were $3 for children, 10 for veterans, and 12 for adults. Also close to down town Canyon, restaurants, and bakeries.

We were thrilled to find another RV museum on our travels! (The only one we've known about is the one in Elkhart, IN.) The Sisemore RV museum is just fantastic! Great collection of vintage RV's, motorcycles, and race cars, and all the added vintage memorabilia really rounds out the collection. We LOVED that we were able to walk inside almost all of the RV's! It's a little tricky to get to the entrance (turn in by the museum flag and then drive through the open fence) but well worth the trip. Thank you Sisemore family for opening your collection to the public!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☺️

I visited here July 18. It was easy to find, off the access road and back behind the first building, on its north side. I hoped to see a Discoverer 25 such as one I went in at the Detroit autoshow in 1972 and did not find it, but found a lot of other rare and pivotal RVs, all restored to be in perfect shape. It is a thrill that one can stand inside them, and imagine families in the 1930s to 1970s enjoying the great outdoors. Thanks to Jack Sisemore for creating this.

I hadn't visited this Museum in a long time. I thought as long as I was in Amarillo I would go there again and see the the old rvs. Now they have a bunch of old cars I should say classic cars and motorcycles. It is free admission but it is up to each individual to leave a donation. They have a donation box right at the counter. Good idea well worth it.

This was a neat stop. It took us about 20-30 minutes to go through the museum. We really enjoyed reading all of the quick stories that were behind each RV. It was neat seeing how each one was staged and the items that were from that time period. This is a fun road side stop! It is also free.

Wonderful rv museum! It is free and they have nice restrooms and free water. There is a donation box which is not a requirement but we wanted to contribute to the museum. There are several rvs to go into. There are motorcycles and a few cars. The centerpiece is the red bus rv from the movie "RV"! It was awesome!!!!

Possibly the best stop in Amarillo! Don’t miss out on this awesome museum! Great vintage campers and the RV Happy Max bus as a bonus! Very cool! I highly recommend this place!

It was worth seeing. Understand that it is not a traditional museum because it is in a light industrial area. Yes, turn right at the sign and go through the open gate. Look for the large, open roll-up door. Not great signage but it is findable. Some interesting RVs there that take you back and help you realize how nice RVs have become. The motorcycles and race cars seem a bit incoherent, but this is a personal collection and Mr Sisemore obviously likes motorcycles and race cars. Worth seeing if you are here when they are open.

Great place to kill 15 or 20 minutes and stretch your legs. The kids were clearly having a ball spray painting the cars. Judging by the sweet truck and trailer, selling spray paint on the road side is very lucrative! It's worth the stop to get the kids out of the car if nothing else :)

🎨 A good place to visit enroute to Colorado from Texas. This place has got exactly 10 inverted cars available for painting. 🚗 We got our own paints from Walmart at $2.60 each. If you get from the Merch store here it will be $7.50 so plan accordingly. ⚠️ Take necessary precautions since this place is extremely windy and when you face the opposing wind while someone is spray painting, the paint might just get to your face and body.

This is awesome! Very iconic stop on Route 66 that absolutely lives up to its reputation. This is a MUST STOP on Route 66 and if the merch truck and trailer are you can get your paint, shirts, stickers and other memorabilia from them right there on site!

Cadillac Ranch is one of those quirky roadside attractions that perfectly captures the spirit of old Route 66. Located just west of Amarillo, Texas, it features ten vintage Cadillacs buried nose-first in the desert soil, their tail fins reaching toward the sky like a row of colorful sentinels. Layers upon layers of spray paint cover every inch of the cars, creating a constantly changing canvas that visitors from around the world add to daily. It’s free to visit, easy to access, and delightfully weird in all the right ways. Bring a can of paint if you’d like to leave your mark, or simply walk among the cars and take in the vibrant chaos of color and creativity. The wind across the plains, the crunch of gravel underfoot, and the sight of those half-buried Cadillacs make this one of the most iconic and photogenic stops along the Texas stretch of Route 66. Definitely worth a visit for anyone who appreciates Americana, art, and the beautifully bizarre.

Fun place to visit. It really reminds me of the 7 magic mountain in LV. This place is better because you can buy a spray paint and do graphite on the cars. Definitely worth to stop by but not make it a trip.

Super cool spot to stop along the way. We expected it to be packed, but we were there on a Monday afternoon and were able to make our mark on the cars. They had clean grounds, convenient truck that can sell spray paint and gifts. Loved it.

This is an iconic spot to visit on your way through town. The spot is pretty well maintained, with trash cans around for the empty spray paint cans, and a fence to keep vehicles (and motorcycles?) out. However, it isn’t obvious when you arrive that you need to park on the street and walk down to the cars, which are about 100 yards off the roadway. They could certainly make an off-street parking lot that makes parking safer and allows a shorter access to the monument. Minor details Definitely worth a break to stretch the legs on a road trip!

We camped 3 nights at the Juniper Campground! The campsite, restrooms, camp hosts, and wildlife visitors were ALL absolutely delightful!! We did several nice hikes and enjoyed them all!! Instead of the Lighthouse Trail, we decided to make it a loop with Givens, Spicer and Lowry to the Lighthouse and Paseo del Rio! We were glad we did! The Lighthouse portion a of that loop was really the least scenic!! What a wonderful place to explore! Texas State Parks does a GREAT JOB!! Thank you!!

We really enjoyed hiking! We did the CCC Trail and the Rock Garden both were absolutely gorgeous. The Rock Garden was very challenging but definitely had the wow factor! We had a really great time. The roadrunner was so cute such a perfect touch of nature in the park.

Beautiful area. The biking loops were pedally and fun. There’s a bike rack on the lighthouse trail before the steep section. The campgrounds are nice, the one we popped into had water, flushing toilets and showers. We didn’t find out the overnight price. Lots of space on a Monday in November.

Absolutely beautiful state park in America’s second largest canyon. Well preserved and maintained, with a road that goes from the rim—and the visitors center—to the bottom, without too many hairpin turns. There’s even a Trading Post that sells food and drink in the canyon (including ice cream!). In terms of hikes, highly recommend Lighthouse Trail—2.8 miles in and 2.8 back—as well as the big cave at the end of the paved road. Super beautiful, mostly flat, and doable with kids.

My family enjoyed visiting the canyon. The big cave was pretty cool to walk, too. Most of the trails were closed off though. The amphitheater had a show that was pretty neat. The gift shop has tons to choose from. There is plenty of wildlife to walking around

Lots of hiking trails, there were showers and bathrooms at multiple different camp sites. This place gets very hot in the summer. You need to pack at least a half gallon or more per a person. Always bring water for your dog.

Located south of Amarillo Texas, and quite a ways off the beaten path is Palo Duro Canyon State Park. This State Park can give many National Parks a run for the money. What an amazing place. Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon in the United States and the park offers wonderful facilities facilities including a cliffside visitors center, gift shops, restaurant, amphitheater, campgrounds including a camp store, restroom and shower, facilities a scenic drive through the park with stunning views of the canyon and miles of hiking trails. We camped in the canyon and had an awesome stay. Palo Duro Canyon State Park was well worth the trip. A must see if you are in the Amarillo area.

I had a ball while staying at Caprock Canyons State Park. beautiful area for walking and riding bikes. Plenty of hiking trails and the red rust hills were stunning at different times of the day. There is a buffalo herd in the park so you need to keep a good watch. They come and go pretty much where they want. A couple of times they came right through my camp which was fun. There are also dung beetles here because of the buffalo herd. They are industrious little guys and are fascinating to watch. The park staff were very friendly and seemed to enjoy chatting with Park guests. Love this park and will be back again.

Genuinely one of the most beautiful parks I’ve ever been to! You need to take the trip here! The entire park is just so breathtaking and amazing, it’s takes so much longer to hike the trails because you’re stopping to take pictures every 5 minutes! The bison and prairie dogs are always out so you get to see them, the staff are friendly and helpful, the bathrooms are kept clean, and the trails are well marked and maintained. Definitely recommend this park!

The campsites were well maintained and clean. The lights in the bathrooms at honey flat campgrounds need some work. The women’s showers had no lights and all the bathroom lights had 7 min timers. So if you didn’t take a light into the shower you would end up showering in the dark. The park is amazing with great hiking paths.

Great campground, I will be coming back. Scenery is beyond imagination, bison wandering around like a bunch of gangsters is by far the most amazing thing going on......caprock traffic jambs due to bison is just so funny, they really don't give a ____. Campsites are nice and have alot of trees for some natural separation between sites, love waking up to bison wandering around. My only complaint are from the amount of house flies most likely caused by the amount of bison poop, but can't have one without the other, it just made for needing to cook and eat inside all the time. Lastly and this would be a great idea on trail improvement, it would be great if the trails looped around back to the start point or another point close. Eagle ridge, one end is close to the camp, which is great, but the other end is over 2 miles and to walk back through the same trail is kinda silly, the other trails you have to drive to get there, which is fine but same problem, you either walk the same trail twice or if you want to do a loop you are looking at over 8 miles of hiking, which if you are walking and not a professional is kinda far. Next time I'm bringing the bikes because that seems more reasonable for this trail system. I'm not complaining, just an idea for future trail setup? I wanted todo more trails but walking (and trying to carry enough water) for the distance required is just on the verge of too much for a non professional hiker. Will be coming back (with bikes)

Quiet park offering easy or more challenging trails. Still a lot of flowers and blooms in late May, early June. These I found on the Lower North Prong. I just love the solitude the park offers. On the lower north I didn't run into a single hiker, just a lone bull who scurried away on the trail. Great escape even on the weekends. I can imagine during the week, its even quieter. I camped in upper North prong and some campers found some pretty nice spots farther away from each other incase of rowdy younger folks who don't respect camp hours.

Nice campsite with ample space. Great hiking trails for all level of hikers. The bison were WOW and so cool to see…one morning they roamed right through the camping area! The prairie dogs were so cute!

We had a great time at Caprock Canyons. There are plenty of trails to go hiking. We really enjoyed taking pictures here as well. Great for a weekend trip, and also great camping spots.

The performance was amazing, you’re not allowed to take pictures or videos. The pictures posted with this review were taken before the announcement. Kudos to all the performers for their talent and enduring the heat while singing and dancing for 2+ hours. All staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and more than willing to help find your seats. If possible, buy your tickets in advance at the box office to avoid all extra online fees. They have a few pricing options, but really there’s no bad seats in the amphitheater so go for the lower price option. They give military and first responder (and a few others) discounts. Also, wait for intermission for better priced popcorn. Lol

We didn’t stay for a show, but even just driving through, the Pioneer Amphitheatre blew us away. The setup is truly impressive—tucked right into the canyon walls with incredible natural acoustics and a dramatic backdrop. You can tell it would be an unforgettable place to watch a performance, especially with the red rock formations lit up at night. Definitely adding it to the list for our next visit!

Best show! Impressed by the stellar performances of the cast, and especially through the rain, thunder, lightning, slipping and falling, they all persevered. Thank you to the cast for sharing your gifts. Kudos to the crew also. Thanks to the staff fir keeping us safe. The BBQ dinner was amazing and a great part of the experience. Worth the time waiting through the storm and sitting in the rain in ponchos! Will definitely come back and recommend to friends!

Texas Musical- Palo Duro Canyon State Park was a really great production! We’ve thought about going to see it many times, but this was our first. The story was a little cheesy and hard to follow at times, however, that was all overshadowed by the gorgeous canyon backdrop, elaborate dance numbers, beautiful costumes, exciting special effects, talented live musicians, and the overall patriotic message! The set was really more than I expected. For seating, we were top row center and I really think it was great because the stage is pretty wide so this gave us a great view without straining to look at one side or the other. #theonlyplaceyoucanseeforeverandstillseenothingatall #onlyinTexas

Enjoyed a Tuesday night show last night while camping at Palo Duro Canyon State Park. The musical was great, lots of dancing & interesting story. The backdrop pf the canyon was magnificent. The show was very patriotic, the water canyon light show & fire 🔥 plot line were all interesting. Would definitely recommend. There are concession stands & drinks bar outside amphitheater.

This is one of the most incredible and brilliantly created show with extremely talented people ever! Very Patriotic, history telling, inspiring and entertaining for people of all ages! Long drive to get there but so worth it so I'm coming back with more family and friends! Thank you to the production team and all performers for an amazing job and keeping this gem of a show going for years and years to come!

The performance of the cast and ensemble was seriously so stellar, felt on par if not better than plays of broadway like production. Such a cool atmosphere with the outdoor stage. I want to give a special shoutout to Brian helping guide the flow of traffic and pass out waters and also trying to help me find my parents when they were potentially lost on the CCC trail - he’s a real king.

I ABSOLUTELY loved my ride. I got to ride Rio and he is a very good sure footed old boy. 🩷 The trail along the canyon was beautiful and fun. Definitely a ride for anyone, I have taken many trails along the U.S. and I gotta say to put this one on the map. Melissa and Blair were so sweet, thorough, and a pleasure to meet. The horses at this facility are very well cared and taken care of that is easy to see. I’m looking forward to coming back. I called and chatted with Phylis and is was an easy booking the ride. Thanks 🩷🤣

SUCHHH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Allison and Katelyn were the best adventure guides. They are so sweet, helpful, and super knowledgeable in their history and horse facts. We did the 2 hour sunset ride and I couldn’t recommend enough!!

Cowgirls and Cowboys is very good at instructing you on just about everything to expect. The horses look very well taken care of. The trail has beautiful views and the canyon is even better! We got to see a coyote and a buck.

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic experience riding along the canyons. Melissa and Alison were kind, funny and informative tour guides! We learned a lot about the history of the canyon, saw beautiful views, and made great memories along the way.

Absolutely unforgettable experience! Our 2-hour ride with Cowgirls and Cowboys in the West in Amarillo, Texas was hands down the highlight of our trip. The beauty of the Texas landscape, with its wide-open sky and the ride to the rim of the breathtaking Palo Duro Canyon, was something we’ll never forget. One of the most special moments was having our picture taken right on the canyon’s edge, an incredible keepsake that perfectly captured the magic of the day. What made the experience even more memorable were our amazing wranglers: Breeyn, Katilin, and Alison. They thoughtfully chose each guest a horse to match their experience as a rider. Their patience and encouragement were constant throughout the ride, and their passion for what they do really shone through. They shared fascinating stories and history of the area, and it was easy to see they genuinely cared about both the horses and the guests. It was also very evident the horses loved all three wranglers. ♥ This was more than just a horseback ride—it was an authentic and heartwarming western adventure. Can’t recommend it enough. We’ll absolutely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is an absolute must! It was such a fun way to see the canyon. Bailey and Alison were amazing and did a great job of explaining everything, making sure you were paired with the right horse and making it such an enjoyable experience!! 100% would recommend. We will definitely be doing it again if we are out that way again! Reno was so much fun to ride and my husband loved riding Whiskey.

Loved Alison and Katelyn! Their knowledge of the various horses and the canyon's history was incredibly helpful. We had great weather and a lovely sunset! Thanks!

Stopped in while charging our Tesla at the nearby Supercharger and we’re so glad we did! We had the meatloaf from Grandma’s recipe and it was absolutely amazing—pure comfort food done right. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has a charming, nostalgic vibe. Being able to enjoy a delicious meal while our car charged was the perfect road trip combo. Highly recommend if you’re passing through!

We stopped in for lunch. Staff was super sweet. We all had thr pulled pork which was delicious. And curly fries. 😍 The little visitor center is adorable and you get to put a pin where you're from. In our case we're moving from Virginia to Alaska, so put 2 pins in. 😆

One of my favorite places to stop. It just screams Old Route 66 and gives a nod to the old days. By the way, the restroom is always open to the public. We stopped at 9pm or so and it was open. It's also right next door to my all time favorite little motels. The Shamrock Inn.

A wonderful find while traveling thru Texas. Super friendly folks who are very dog friendly and allowed our boys inside their Cafe to eat besides us. Very yummy food and excellent service. Gift store has some fun stuff and we picked up a couple of matching shirts. They were also using the Square system for payment which made check out quick and efficient : ) Other positive was the Tesla Supercharger located in the back which brought us there in the first place. Fun place to take some memorable photos.... don't forget to stop by Y'all : )

IT'S IN THE DYSNEY CARS MOVIE!!! If you Love stops on Route 66.... So Worth It and not far off the main (new) drag! If you have time grab a bite to eat in the adorable... Delicious Smelling Cafe!! Takes you back in time like few do!!

Great little place. I will the smoke smell inside was a little over powering from.the smoked brisket. Lady inside was very sweet and gave me my coin for my Historic Route 66 Album.

Conoco Tower Station is a hidden gem that blends historic charm with great service. The iconic art deco architecture makes it a unique and memorable stop—perfect for travelers looking to experience a bit of Route 66 history. The station is beautifully maintained and has a nostalgic atmosphere that’s both welcoming and photo-worthy. The convenience store is clean, well-stocked, and offers a solid selection of snacks, drinks, and essentials. Staff members are friendly and helpful, creating a pleasant experience whether you’re just filling up your tank or taking a quick break from the road. This spot is more than just a gas station—it’s a piece of American history that still serves the community and travelers with pride. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

Elk City has done a fantastic job with these museums. You can easily spend a couple hours here. Price is very affordable too! So much to see & very interesting. Definitely stop in for awhile!

This was totally worth the stop! Unfortunately we only stayed for about an hour due to obligations. I could have spent 4-5 hours wandering around all the buildings. The staff were very friendly and the entire place was clean. We went as soon as they opened on a Friday morning and it was not crowded at all.

Great museum, you can spend several hours there if you’re passionate about the Route 66. There are so many things in that museum, so many pictures to take. It’s very interesting.

So glad we stopped here on our Route 66 trip. It was like stepping back in time. If you love cars, history and moon pies, this is the place to be. We had a great time and everyone was so friendly. Great souvenirs.

We've stopped at multiple R66 museums since Chicago.... and usually favour the free ones due to budget. I cannot recommend this one enough... 5$ entry and so much to see. I was sceptical about the film, but it does help ground everything before you look round. The ladies at the desks are all wonderfully welcoming and a credit to the museum. We spent over 2 hrs there.... and could easily have doubled that. You can always pop out for lunch and come back as its a complex of buildings with plenty of food options nearby. This is exactly the type of place that should be supported rather than the more tacky tourist ones This is somewhere Elk City can be very proud of. Thank you all! 🥰🙏

MUST STOP! Something for the whole family to enjoy. 😉🙏 The video is worth watching before you tour the grounds. The volunteers are kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Spent 2 hrs and didn't see everything! Classic cars, train car, vintage🔥truck and more.

A great museum complex that not only showcases Route 66 but also local Oklahoma history, native history, and rural history. Reasonably priced admission!! You can easily spend several hours here.

The Oklahoma Route 66 Museum in Clinton is one of the nicest on the entire route. They have a great number of displays set up depicting life on 66 in different decades. They also have a great gift shop and a road side diner set up. Super nice people with great information.

Visited on 6.9.2025. Fantastic Museum that chronicles the Conception, the Glory years, the Decomissioning, the Revival and the Preservation of Route 66. This particular Museum has some of the best exhibits compared to others I have seen during my travels. BRAVO and KUDOS to the staff for preserving this part of America's heritage.

This is one of my absolute favorite Route 66 museums. We visit it everytime we come out west. It is full of Route 66 history and has a great gift shop. It is a self guided walking tour that could take as little as 30 minutes up to several hours depending on your pace. I highly recommend visiting.

Great little museum, tells the tale of 66 through the decades. Great info and some really cool car displays as well as items from those decades. If you have time, stop by.

Very clean and nice museum. Everyone is so friendly. Wish there are more things to see around route66.

We stopped at this museum on our route 66 coach tour an excellent museum dedicated to the history of route 66.Thr gift shop is fantastic you'll find everything you have ever wanted regarding route 66 merchandise.The owners were so friendly and welcoming.Thanks for keeping the history of Route 66 alive.

That museum looks very good from outside, I arrived in that area at night and it was closed, the day after was a day off in USA and it was closed as well.. so unfortunately I couldn’t visit it, but I would have liked.

Such an awesome museum! We went early morning on a Saturday and it wasn't crowded at all. Really cool free outdoor playground too! We will absolutely be back! Great for kids, they have a scavenger hunt booklet and the get a little freebie for completing it.

Nice museum, great displays. many under renovation. The outside area when completed will be fantastic. Military admission available. Some extremely interesting exhibits. If you RV and are a member of Harvest Hosts you can stay here for a night

Phenomenal collection of artifacts, aircraft, innovation and history! Take a step into the past and strive for the future at one of the most informative museums I have ever experienced. The volume of information here is joyfully overwhelming, as it ties together man's desires to achieve the impossible with the visible results of his successes. Explore the Wright Brothers, the Space Race, the Cold War and much more with a lot of heart and feeling behind the history. This museum is a visual spectacle - great for kids, adults, veterans, innovators, and over-achievers!

This museum is outstanding! The staff did a fantastic job organizing the displays in an informative and beautiful way that we thoroughly enjoyed. It was very interactive and brought back a lot of memories of watching the space program unfold live when I was young. We even got to spend a little bit of time with one of the staff members in a private conversation about general Stafford and see some of his personal collection. My wife and I highly recommend that everyone go by and see this museum. Don't forget to go into town and see the astronaut man on the street corner as well.

I had no idea about this hidden gem in western Oklahoma! If you’re thinking about checking this museum out JUST DO IT. I promise you won’t regret it. There’s SO much to learn about the history of flight from our earliest planes to rocket ships in space! I enjoyed my time very much and will be by returning very soon. 10/10 😊

Genuinely really awesome, one of the coolest museums I've ever been to. Would highly recommend visiting!

Visited on 10.18.2025. The museum was closed when I visited Weatherford, but there are some nice plane exhibits along the parking area.

The vip is worth getting. They bring out some animals to show and tell, and some you can hold, and others just touch. The staff is wonderful, answering questions with ease. Everyone is really nice. The place is big so be prepared to walk you see many types of creatures. Some of the places lion very run down, but I'm guessing those places are more for summertime use. Beside that awsome place for kids to enjoy a nice day and learn some new things about animals they didn't know.

Entire experience started out a little rough as our reservation wasn’t in their system (we called to make the reservation), but we had paid in advance to stay in a cabin on property - staff seemed super surprised about our arrival and was not super stoked, which makes sense! Aside from this initial interaction, the whole place was incredible. We went on a weekday and were the ONLY people in the entire park! Which sounds crazy, but we went in their off season when folks were working or at school. It was actually really cool to experience it that way without a bunch of people crowding you! We could take our time with each animal and exhibit. We ended up getting a VIP Encounter with our reservation by staying on property, which entailed getting to meet at LEAST 10 different animals up close and personally. Our guide for this was Amy, who was so so so kind and friendly and answered all of our crazy questions. After this, we got to feed monkeys and kangaroos. What a cool experience!!!! Again, still the only people in the entire place. At this point it was dusk and more animals were out than when we initially walked through the park- all cats were very well fed and had enough room to move around in- their pens were HUGE! Loved seeing that and that they were well cared for. In terms of where we stayed, it was in one of the lodges at the back of the property where you’re next to the zebras! The place was so well worth the money with great amenities, very clean, and quiet (except for the animals you can hear at night which is so cool lol). 10/10 experience, can’t wait to come back. If you’re thinking about making the trip here, DO IT! This place deserves your money and your time! Don’t skip it!

Very cool experience! Deff worth trying out! The tree house we stayed in, the bathroom was down two flights of stairs outside, with no air ventilation. The treehouse was also lacking A/C. The ONE window unit they have upstairs only blows hot air. So bring a fan!!!! Emily was part of the park staff and she was by far the most laid back and educational person we met there! We really enjoyed her company! Waking up the sound of a lions roar, was terrifying yet peaceful at the same time!!!! Check it out! It’s an experience you’ll never forget. 🐅🦁🐒

We had a good experience here. The Macaws out front are talkative and beautiful birds. Very good assortment of animals and it felt safe and inviting. Happy we went and if we're ever in town we might consider going back.

Grandkids school trip from Shawnee. I expected 3 tigers and 10,000 screaming kids and once the crowd was gone.. or more like... I left the crowd and decided to go walk about while they got educated.... it was pretty awesome. I know 1st hand what it's like keeping up buildings, pens, ground, ponds bridges, animals for public display etc.. Great folks, and learning my" brother" firefighter runs the place was a pleasant surprise. Hopefully I'll return on a less stressful day. Some parents need a kick in the groin... letting thier kids bang on the glass agitating the tiger who was trying to eat them through the acrylic panel. After I thought this is how these places make the world news... the grandpa in me yelled at all of them.. including the parents laughing taking the videos. Otherwise... great time and surprising place.

Went for the first time finally. We did the VIP so we could hold the animals. Love the open walk around and the spacious areas for the animals. I could watch those silly lemurs all day 🤣 They are doing some additions also. Can’t wait to go back again.

This was an inexpensive, fun, and educational experience. We visited in mid October, so the weather was pleasant. It was not crowded at all. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. You may need help from Google maps because the signage is not very obvious.

Clean & well kept duplex style cabins. Generous concrete driveways. Cabins within moderate walking distance to lodge and kayaking. The little store had good country style meals and good service. Bring your own pillows and extra bedding. Beds are not very comfortable, but they were way more comfortable than tent camping. (Though tent sites available!) Concrete picnic tables, fire pits and grills are in the backyard of the cabins. Great for an inexpensive family weekend trip, an hour away from OKC/Edmond.

I hadn't been there in years. My mom's family used to have family reunions there, and I hadn't been in the lodge since then (1977). Same lodge, but updated. Nice, with a local flair about the Cheyenne/Arapaho tribes. The dining room has changed a lot, but was nice. The lakes are dry, just a small channel going through them. Dam broke on the small one and then the large one failed. Don't count on fishing. The golf course looked to be in excellent shape. It's unique in that you're playing over and beside canyons. If your ball goes way back in the rough, leave it. Let the snakes have it, and drop another. It has one of the nearest polls in the state, feed by natural springs.

We made reservations for 3 nights. We get here and can’t find an office to check in at. Find our way to our campsite and start exploring. There is no lake to speak of, water is so low you see the ground and weeds. The beautiful waterfall in the picture, the road going to it has been closed. The pool, #1 you have to pay to use, #2 it is only open on the weekends, we are here mid week. Found the lodge and asked when you check in for camping, she said, oh you’re good. The restaurant wasn’t open either. The shower you have to purchase tokens for, and each token last 3 minutes. To say the least, we are extremely disappointed. The pictures show a beautiful lake, waterfall, pool and restaurant that we will not be able to Partake in. Oh yeah the general store was closed the day we arrived.

Beaver Dam Campground is nice with clean bathrooms and showers. There are picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. Both lakes at the park are still empty as the construction work continues on the dam. It would be nice if the park's website would provide information on trail closures and the dry lakes, due to construction. They do not provide a timeline for the lakes being reopened. Instead, it just mentions that the lakes are stocked with trout. The paddle boats on the lakeshore by the store are just sitting on dry ground. We even saw someone with a kayak on their vehicle expecting to get on the water, but obviously that wasn't happening. The General Store is open for small gifts, snacks, and toiletry items. The only hiking trail that is open is the ADA trail that leads to the lodge, then continues to Inspiration Point. The trail to the point, from the lodge, has steep ups and downs, we only made it about halfway, then turned back because the trail was too steep. We had perfect camping weather, and did get in 5 miles of hiking. Just wish we had been provided more information on the trail closures and dry lakes before we made reservations.

If you’re a big fan of golfing in the wilderness this is the place for you. If you were expecting a serene forest (by Ok standards) you might get that, the creek that comes out of a concrete hole in the rock; down a concrete path, because the natural route was removed, isn’t as “wilderness” as one would expect. It’s a good area to cruise through, but the golf course at the entrance and golf cart tracks everywhere really ruined the experience for us.

Have not stayed there yet, but love the area and the layout of the park. A lot of trails to enjoy, paved and dirt. Looking forward to exploring more

Just a day visit at the park. We did check out the resort, but didn't stay. Very nice and a super friendly staff. Beautiful park with tons of outdoor activities. We WILL be back!

Room was very nice. Wish we could have upgraded, but apparently need a host for that and I don't have one. Food at Chips & Ales was great and our server was top notch! Slots were a bit tight so didn't get to play as much as we'd like. Employees were very friendly for the most part.

Didn't go into the actual Casino. Went to the Gary Allan concert on the same property. Well organized. We got there early and once gates open were in pretty quickly. Great options for food too.

Brought my elderly disabled Dad here while on a trip from DFW to Norman and the upper deck was perfect for him. He always plays for fun and not to win, so slots are good. He had a blast even though he can't be around flashy lights for too long. Thank you for providing a safe and fun experience!

Great customer service. Clean rooms. Quiet for a casino. 10/10 Air conditioning. We will be back. Thank you, Oklahoma for a fantastic time!

My worst experience since covid happened. Spent $300 within 10 minutes. 4 machines 0 wins! I have never experienced such bad luck ever!! I will never play here again! We have other options and I will be going east of OKC next time! Tricked me on trick or treat night! Never again "NEVERwin"!!!! And I had said I would be happy if I can just play awhile or break even. I didn't get either one!!

My husband I decided to get out for a bit and came to the casino. He told me to eat before we left but of course I didn't listen lol. So I went over to Burger King and Let me tell you Thomas and Kristen were so helpful and patient with me. Food was hot and fresh. Service was amazing.

Enjoyed the entertainment it's relaxing and you can smoke! There is semi truck parking available and security on site! Will send shuttle to come take you to the casino. It's a big place, oh and almost forgot wow those waitress they really check to see if you have something to drink while your playing! So thank you for a good Time!

Unfortunately, I have a bad back, so I had to sit down a lot, and that probably affected my enjoyment of the place. And my rating! Truth be told, this place was boring in some places and interesting in others. This museum seems set up for archeology and anthropology students, which is probably why it's on the OU campus. But I enjoy (or would enjoy, if my back didn't hurt) visiting museums, so I did enjoy it (or again, would have).

Truly had an extraordinary time! There was so much to see and we learned so much! I loved the hands on aspect of some of the exhibits, and loved that there were questions throughout to see if you knew the answers already! It was such a fun experience and would highly recommend!

I love it so much. It was great they have so much cool and interesting stuff here. The dinosaurs were my favorite part but they have an amazing native American exhibit and wildlife of Oklahoma overall the museum is great!

It is a place to enjoy many sculptures and fossils of dinosaurs and other animals, games for children and a shop to buy souvenirs from the museum.

This was a lot of fun, and the best part was meeting Nance, who, after telling her it was our first time visiting, gave us a tour in the bone section. She had personally been on several digs herself along with years at some of the best museums. She was knowledgeable and funny and made the experience that much more fun. Besides that, the rest of the museum was awesome and educational, and we had an excellent time. Can't wait to go back with the kids.

So much fun here!! Our kids love all the dinosaurs, animals and hands on activities. So much to read and learn here. We've been so many times and still haven't read it all. Extra activities on the weekends, at least once a month and special offers for members are available, too! They have clean bathrooms & their staff are kind and helpful as well! (There is an elevator for those that need it too, woo!) We highly recommend Sam Noble Museum!

There is alot to do and see especially if they have an event like the butterfly thing. Everyone was great! The girls helping out with the butterfly feeder and the thing catching the butterflies( and taught us about the real vs cast bones,was the best) , and the lady who helped us with the microscope were my favorite of them all. They were so energetic and involved the boys. We've been through alot and we needed this!!! Now back to Tulsa.

Review of the Oklahoma City National Memorial ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 Stars) Visiting the Oklahoma City National Memorial was an incredibly moving and humbling experience. The site is beautifully designed, with powerful symbolism throughout—especially the Field of Empty Chairs, which honors each life lost in the 1995 bombing. The atmosphere is respectful and reflective, and it’s clear that a lot of care went into creating a space for both remembrance and healing. One of the highlights of our visit was speaking with a National Park Ranger on site. His deep knowledge and thoughtful storytelling added a whole new layer of meaning to our experience. The insight he shared about the significance of each part of the memorial helped us connect more personally with the events and the resilience of the Oklahoma City community. It’s clear he is passionate about his role, and it made a real difference in our visit. This memorial is a must-visit for anyone in the area—both to pay respects and to better understand an important part of American history.

Amazing memorial! Since 9/11, it seems this tragedy seems to have been largely forgotten, but this memorial and museum does a great job of reminding us how big this event was. The memorial with the reflecting pool is beautiful and the part with the chairs is heartbreaking once you realize the small chairs represent the children that were killed. And the museum is very informative and the videos very moving. Glad we went and I highly recommend it!

What an incredibly touching memorial that can move the strongest person to tears. You can feel the pain at this memorial with so many innocent young and old lives lost. This was a beautiful memorial to honor those lives lost and those left behind. The outdoor memorial was very well constructed and the museum inside was eye opening and jaw dropping. Worth the experience as you will learn, see and hear actual recordings from that day. 💔

Visiting the memorial and museum was a powerful experience. I was 5 or 6 when this happened and don't have the most vivid memory of it so I'm glad to have visited to more truly understand the gravity of this tragedy. Our country would benefit by everyone visiting to see what happens when we give in to hatred and extremism but also to see the best in us when we come together and stand united.

Such a beautiful tribute to all affected by this horrible event. Planned on just going to the memorial but it was so beautiful that I had to come back the next day to the museum. While at the memorial a ranger came out and gave us a bit of history on the memorial, museum, and some facts about the bombing. I recommend everyone visiting at least once.

The OKC Bombing Memorial and Museum brings us back 30 years this year to one of those moments you'll never forget... the Memorial is beautiful and so beautiful compared to the violence that ripped thru the Heart of the Sooner Nation. The museum well curated and taught me things I never knew about that day.

We were traveling back from the Rocky Mountains and decided to stop and see the memorial. It was absolutely beautiful. We did not have time to see the museum but the gentleman that helped us outside was great about answering any questions we had. Definitely worth the stop! The gateways were very touching.

Been bringing the kiddo here since he was very little. Summer tradition for us for sure. This zoo has improved tremendously throughout the years in a positive direction. The bathrooms could be cleaners and the supplies could be stocked more frequently and more misters. But other than that the facility is clean, the animals seem healthy and tended to. And the facility seems full of animals. Pricing is affordable as well if you do a daily entry or a seasonal pass. The food prices could be a little better and maybe more carts for waters, etc. But other than that this zoo is a fun thing to do with the family.

Such a fun day! The zoo is super clean, easy to get around, and full of amazing animals. My favorite part was watching the elephants play, and the flamingos were so pretty! It’s a great spot for kids and families — and honestly, it was just as enjoyable for us adults too. A perfect way to spend a few hours.

Large Zoo with alot to see and do. We didn't get there until 12pm and stayed until just about closing time and I feel like we had to really rush to see everything. I'd recommend getting there earlier than we did 😂😂 Ate at the Canopy Cafe. Food is pricey, but portions were large and delicious. My daughter really enjoyed the Emus, fish, goats and Flamingos. It's is a very hilly zoo as well, so be prepared for a bunch of uphill walking if you don't plan your route beforehand ( we didn't 😂😂). Thanks for a great day OKC Zoo! 😊😊

Took the kids on a day trip to the zoo. We had a great time seeing all of the animals, riding the merry go round. The food prices are a bit much but the overall experience was positive. Clean and lots to do!

We had such a great time at the Oklahoma City Zoo! Our group included seven adults, a 3-year-old, and an 11-month-old—and we were all able to get in for just $150. Such a great value for a full day of fun, especially with our extended family joining us. The zoo itself is beautiful, clean, and impressively large—we didn’t even make it through the whole thing before it was time for nap time! We especially appreciated the interactive stations set up throughout the park, where friendly zoo staff shared info about the animals and let us touch things like a real zebra pelt. It was a great way to keep everyone, kids and adults alike, engaged and learning. The variety of animals was wonderful, and we were happy to see the animals in large, thoughtfully designed enclosures. My son was completely captivated by an ostrich that followed us along the fence—definitely his favorite moment of the day! I personally loved watching the red pandas—they were so fun to see up close. While we didn’t eat lunch at the zoo, we saw plenty of people enjoying generous portions, and I have to say—the chicken tenders looked surprisingly good (and I don't usually say that about zoo food!). We also noticed a few spots offering adult beverages throughout the park, which was a nice bonus for a relaxing stroll. There were also plenty of fun photo opportunities scattered around the zoo, which made for great memories and some adorable family pics. All in all, we had a fantastic visit and would definitely recommend the OKC Zoo to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly adventure!

This is the most beautiful, fun zoo I've been to yet. Well laid out with care towards art and landscaping. There are mist spraying locations to cool off, the drinking fountains have a new option that allows you to place your empty water bottle there and it fills up. You can bring your own lunch. And so much more!

Very clean bathrooms. Lively animals. It was cool to see how much room the animals had. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Sad part was that all the penny machines were either out of order or pennies. We ended up only losing a dollar from the machine.

My soon to be 13 yrs old just said if this was the first museum he went to on this trip it would have been great. Hubby and I were impressed, we loved the art work. Once again beautiful pieces that look like photographs and not paintings. The staff was kind and knowledgeable as well. Super clean and beautiful I wish the price was a bit less for teens and families at all adds up.

We visited the Cowboy Museum. It was okay and worth the visit if you are interested in cowboy history. The Museum Grill is the museum’s restaurant ((but not really a “grill). We ordered the chef salad, flavorful tortilla soup, and gigantic southwest chicken wrap. All were very good! The museum also has a nice gift shop.

I hadn't visited in about 30 years and was more than impressed with the improvements over the years. Incredible collections, paintings and sculptures are just the icing on the cake. So much to see and learn about western heritage and culture. This is a must-see in OKC!

My husband and I had such a great time visiting the Oklahoma National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how beautifully everything was displayed. We really enjoyed seeing all the incredible artwork — the paintings truly captured the spirit and history of the West. The museum also had a fascinating collection of saddles, guns, clothing, and other historical pieces. Every room told a story, and it was both educational and fun to explore. You can really tell how much thought and care went into curating everything. It was a great experience overall, and we’re so glad we made time to visit. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for something both cultural and memorable!

Beautiful place, they have a really nice gift shop, lovely art, wonderful historical artifacts. There's so much to explore, be prepared to spend a lot of time here. I'd gladly come back again, I need more time to enjoy all of the exhibits. My little daughter had a lot of fun too watching photos, videos and playing at the playground outside.

This is a wonderful collection of Western history and art presented in a beautiful setting. The museum is full of amazing art and the displays tell the story of both the Native American people and the cowboys and settlers. Outside are wonderful statues and experiences to enjoy among lovely landscape.

Visited on Veterans Day and my admission was free. A wonderful museum highlighting the cowboy culture in art, and artifacts. Extensive collection of firearms of the early westward expansion scattered throughout the museum.

The Auditorium is beautiful. The staff are dressed nicely, they're friendly and very helpful. A very well organized event for sure. My Family watched Celtic Throne II, Psalter of Ireland. Absolutely a beautiful performance! Well choreographed, wonderful music and smiling faces every step of the way. My children, ages 6-11 Loved the entire show, and My husband and I did as well. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

Attended the concert of The Queen's Six. Parking was well organized. Ushering crew were well organized and very helpful. Theater and lobby were amazingly beautiful. The Queen's Six employed a high quality performance demonstrating serious professionalism and a joy of musical variety. The encore of God Save the King was special and an honor to hear.

This is the most beautiful place I have ever seen! The huge chandeliers look like big diamonds in the sky! The sound of the singing just surrounds you in your chair!

It was an excellent concert. The voices were all high quality. The royal singers each spoke giving us history of each piece and sharing their dry British humour w/ us. Staff great as usual :-)!

From just pulling into park, everything was so organized and the parking attendants were always smiling and friendly. Upon entering the facility, everyone was extremely welcoming, so friendly, and willing to help if you needed it. Now for the show, Celtic Throne. The show was fantastic. The dancers of all ages, the singers, and the musicians were amazing. You can tell they love doing what they and working together. A family of performers. An incredible show of so much talent and hard work. I would come see this show over and over again. I would like to thank every one of them for sharing their gifts for all to see. This is a must see show if anyone has the opportunity to see it. The venue, Armstrong Auditorium, is a beautiful venue with very friendly people running the facility. Thank so much.

Our first time to visit this auditorium, and we were not disappointed! Beautiful facility and the acoustics were great for performances. We saw the Celtic Throne, and the talent of these young adults and kids was amazing. Plenty of informed staff to help with doors, directions, history and parking. Small parking lots but the staff moved traffic in and out safely and quickly.

We enjoyed the show Celtic Throne very much! Outstanding talent! Lots of variety! The location is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for an amazing time!

Not our lead school. For a recruiting event it would have been better if they gave better parking. They directed us to a pay lot. I would prefer if they had started taking my money IF we commit. Otherwise...meh.

It's a great University. Been here for two years and it never ceases to surprise me. A wonderful world away from the rest. Best place for students to hone their skills and learn new ones. For me it's personal you should be here in person to feel the energy of this little university town. You wouldn't believe how happening this place is. Welcome to Oklahoma State University. #gopokes.

Oklahoma State University is an outstanding school. When I read the lowest score reviews, I see things in common. These people can't spell, use correct grammar, and fail at using correct punctuation.

How is a STATE school against the 1st amendment!?!! Who cares what that young man's beliefs are as long as he is not hurting or threatening anyone! The staff is a bigger joke than their football team! This school needs to be boycotted! And at a minimum, she needs to be fired and never let back into a college!

beautiful university! very distinguished! and we were here! because my daughter received a writing recognition! . congratulations 🎉🍾🎊🎈!!! daughter ! proud of you! proud to live in Oklahoma! and have been in this university! of first class !

I love the campus and my program, but the city is a prison if you don’t have a car. No bus or train for other cities, only university’s bus to tulsa which doesn’t work in holidays or weekends. Not All students can afford buying a car!

I am in love with this University, Its such a huge university with diverse culture and such warm hearted people all around. Truly a life changing experience it will be, if you happen to be in okstate. Go Pokes :)

When we passed by the mansion it was unfortunately closed. So we passed through the grounds and took a few photos. I don’t know much about Mr. Marland but know he was a successful businessman as well as a Governor of Oklahoma.

Oh my! I have literally all positive things to say about Marland Mansion. I had my dream wedding here, August of 2025. The staff and Kelsey are amazing! Kelsey went above and beyond, she was easy to work with! The mansion is so beautiful! One of the most beautiful and well preserved mansions we have here in Oklahoma. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overwhelming breathtaking beauty. Architecture in variety from the start to finish. Your better off to take a guided tour so you can get more information (unless you know someone who has worked there or lived in Ponca City their entire life); go into more rooms of the mansion, but also the chapel & Marlins’ wife’s house as well. Walking the grounds can be quite beautiful as well; seeing the statues, the ducks and flowers. To bad they haven’t restored the pool to it’s former glory( that would be definitely a delight & beautiful area for a wedding and special occasion too! 😉

So much space! So many different settings! It's castle-esque in Oklahoma. Love photographing weddings here.

Website says they are open 10-5, last self-guided tour being 3:30. We showed up and there is a wedding taking place. The website did not mention anything about it being closed, nor did their Facebook mention it either. Nothing suggested that we should call in advance either. If I lived in town, I wouldn’t care, but drove 40 minutes out of my way on a Saturday to get here.

Hi inquired onto this place and just had the opportunity that happened to be hired for an event at the location. So I tried to help with some tourism to the location upon my visit. I noticed trash on the grounds constantly. And ultimately, the tyrants and city hall make all decisions for this property. So initially accepted and even invited, because the town wanted to make money off my video. It was inquired to the city board members or coordinators, and they denied my request.Even though these two accepted it and even scheduled with me. However, I know it was not their fault for the denial nor will it be their fault that this post is posted here for the next three years.And you can't take it down. First, make note that they will charge you five dollars just to poke around. Young lady kelsey, I met was very nice. And very welcoming, and when we came in contact with each other, however, when you walk into the door of the place there's no greeting and you kind of just mosey in and get the hang of you gotta go to the gift shop.Immediately to pay your fee for your fare to walk around on your feet. And a fun fact, well, maybe not so fun. Perhaps disturbing, but the gentleman owned this house was married for several years upon getting married. He adopted his new wife's daughter after several years of marriage and fathering this daughter. The mother passes away as the mother passed away the father. Immediately and gnawled and reversed the adoption, and one year later, married his daughter from his former widowed. However, the reason i'm giving the place such low readings is that the town is completely disconnected from the functions of this property.And the grass looks like trash.There's constantly geese and turkey vultures landing at the place. And if you've never seen a turkey vulture, and it came down and started getting close to you, you would think it was a seven forty seven.I promise. Lol The other purpose for my low scoring is the city and their authority governing members of city board members or any city worker at all.I have a city worker that works at the solid waste place.He takes an hour and a half lunch on company vehicle every day that our taxpayering dollars pay.So i'm a bit sour about the city.There's many, many other things, but we will.That's not about this.This is about the mansion. If you want somewhere with an exterior walk path to walk and stretch your legs out.Because you've been on the feet road of path.This place is interesting and worth at least checking out.

We visited the museum on a quiet day in May 2023. Because there were almost no other visitors on site, we were lucky that David, the Executive Director, could take the time to give us a fine guided tour with excellent explanations and exciting stories and we were also allowed to ask lots of questions. Well we were very interested :). So we had a great time with David, learned a lot and were very impressed! There we have had really luck. On this way a big thank you to David for this excellent Friday morning! The museum is very interesting in many ways. The life story of Mr. Marland and his family is remarkable and amazing (and also a little scary and sad), the building is technically as well as stylistically, optically and architecturally exciting, there is a lot to see and you can dive into the past with pleasure and let yourself be touched if you like. Now, yes, we had the best museum guide you could ever wish for. So we would recommend every visitor to take a tour! Really. The museum and its many exhibits and facilities do need their explanations and become all the more interesting. This information cannot be perceived in depth during a short unguided tour - unless you read up on the literature. But even if you go through briefly, it will be impressive for any visitor. About the content: A self-made multi-millionaire builds himself a huge villa with technology that was unique at the time (air conditioning, heating, elevators), international flair (he had craftsmen come from Italy, for example, etc.) and exciting, clever and very detailed architecture. However, the whole object is not dully ostentatious but impresses with a real feel-good atmosphere. The museum doesn't look that big from the outside, but it's huge inside. Our conclusion and recommendation: The museum is definitely always worth a short visit - but we strongly (!) recommend to take your time and enjoy this wonderful impressive museum for two hours during a museum tour.

The casino was fine I'm actually here to rate the restaurant. This happened to be the worst high-dollar restaurant I have eaten at in a long time. I have eaten there numerous times before but today was the worst of the worst. The scallops my wife ordered were not cooked properly. They had no sear on them and they were very rubbery. Whatever the scallops came on top of I believe it was like a pimento something was freaking disgusting. The overall Taste of the whole plate of that order was not good at all. I cannot believe a chef would say yes this tastes good let's put this on the menu. I ordered the burger because I don't know why I ⁷was in the mood for a good burger. I always thought there was no way somebody can mess up a burger boy was I wrong. Did not even eat hardly any of the burger the onion rings I ordered were all stuck together and didn't even get cooked right or crispy. So it's like I was eating just a big thick onion. I don't know about whoever is reading this but me or most people that I know do not just bite into onions talking about that's good food. Not only was the food nasty but itw took forever to get there which I don't understand. How can an order take so long and come back so messed up? The mail was so nasty I just wanted to wash this bad food taste out my mouth with something that tasted better than dirty ass, hurry up and pay my bill and go eat somewhere else. That's what we did. The waitress did a hell of a job trying to make it better seeing how we did not eat hardly any of our food and we left it there. The manager however was nowhere to be found. He or she never came up to our table and even tried to see what was happening and going on. The waitress tried to get us to order something else in her face or male but after waiting so long for something so nasty we was not going to do that again. Who's to say that they would even have made our meal taste right the second time. It makes no sense to me how somebody so slow can't end up cooking a meal so horrible. I remember it's been awhile since I've been there but every other time I have eaten there the place was super busy and qd1fqa and the night we visited there were so many empty tables. It's understandable why there were so many Empty Tables with no management around and having food going out like that. They did try to make it better by giving us a free dessert but they couldn't even get that right and they gave us the wrong dessert. I think it's time to get a new Chef up in there with new menu ideas because what that place has going on exactly why that place is so empty

Restaurant was excellent, I had the macaroni and cheese chicken breast, and it was made to perfection. The breast was lightly fried to a perfect golden brown and buttery, and the macaroni and cheese had a little zip to it. The slot machines were the same as anywhere else, with the same payouts. That being said, I did better on slots that I did on the table games, but that's how luck works. Table dealers were a mixed bag, had one dealer who had the personality of a wet mop. (I think he was concentrating too much) but the roulette dealer was very down to earth and a conversationalist.

First time dropping in. Had a good time. Got to play one of my favorite games and the food in cafe hall area was good. Staff was nice. Wish the truck parking wasn’t such a hike. I also wish that indoor smoking wasn’t a thing anymore for casino’s but apparently it’s just part of the culture. all that being said, I’ll be back.

We are not high rollers we just played the slots. We come for the entertainment not to get rich so we had fun. The hotel was awesome!! Staff very friendly, rooms smelled good , they were clean and the room was big. I would stay again.

Five stars to Sam, Sophia, and Paige. Excellent customer service. Looking forward to hanging out at the lizard again soon. By the way, how did you come up with a name, Tin Lizard?

Very nice place, clean and not as crowded as some where the machines make aisles. The smoke wasn’t as overwhelming. They even helped us get new players club cards when the booth was closed.

Reward system is not the best, no high roller tables. Machines that never pay out & table bonuses that are ridiculous. I've been here before and after the renovation, still feels like a Dave & Busters lol

A very interesting and informative afternoon. It's nice that they have taken every age group into account. I'm old and had a good time, and I also could see my grandkids hanging a blast. Bring a jacket! It's really, really cold in there. I would call first and see how busy they expect it to be that day. If it's going to be pretty slow, then it might be best to buy tickets when you're there. Theater prices for food.

Very cool place to go. You can learn lots of space & history. They have several movies that you can watch, which I did not because my grandsons didn't want to see any. As far as buying tickets in advance, that would be your preference. The time that I did have to wait in line, It wasn't terribly long. They also have a cafe on site and they have a very nice gift shop as well. There it's also a kid zone where smaller children can go in and play and make things with an adult.

We had a fairly large group,4 school age children, 3 adults, bought the "everything included" ticket, had a blast! Informative, fun, all rolled into a well kept facility. We especially enjoyed Dr Goddard lab show and the Blue Angels simulator. Great museum kept the kids interested. I recommend!

This is a really cool place where you could spend the entire day! We literally closed the place down and still didn't get to do everything! Well worth the drive off the interstate! The gem for us was the command module Odyssey from Apollo 13! Staff is uber friendly and made for a fun time. It wasn't crowded, but it was Thursday, which made the visit quite enjoyable. The planetarium shows were topped notch! If you're into space, put the Cosmosphere on your must do list!

Hutchinson, KS has a gem among gems when it comes to Air and Space museums. Do not miss this one. You’re greeted in the lobby with the sight and within reach a flown SR-71 and it gets better around every corner. If you love space flight this is Valhalla.

Much better than I expected. Spent 2.5 hours there looking at and reading the exhibits. You cou blow thru in 90 minutes if you don't like reading scientific and historical info. There are additional features such as a dome theater which I will view on another visit.

Whether a NASA buff or a family looking for a great Saturday, this place has it all. The REAL hardware and history AND interactive education for tomorrow's scientists.

This was a really interesting activity during my recent visit to Kansas. I was able to walk in and buy a ticket for the Combo tour (Salt Blast Pass and the Salt Safari). Had about a 10 minute wait until they took us down 650 feet in a dark elevator. For the first half hour we were on our own to explore, look at the exhibits and watch the videos. Then we got on a small train for a narrated ride through the mine. Following that, those of us who chose the Safari were seated in a small electric cart driven by Larry. He took us all over the mine, telling us many interesting facts and stories and pointing out different things along the way. At one point we entered the non-electrified area, so no overhead lights. The only light was from the cart's headlight and the flashlights he gave us. The road was very bumpy but Larry is a very careful driver. This was the best part of the whole combo tour and we saw the mine as it was back in the 1940s and 50s - trash and all! A couple times we were allowed to get off the cart and pick up chunks of salt as souvenirs. Highly recommend touring Strataca, and if you're the least bit adventurous be sure to do the Combo tour!

This place is really fun and definitely worth checking out if you are in the area. We had tickets for 2 tours and the dark ride I think, and yes, in one tour and the dark ride, you are allowed at one time each to choose a rock from a pile that you can keep. Tour rock was to be no larger than a hard hat, dark ride no larger than your fist - or you could fill a small bag with rocks, which was actually better in this case because most rocks seemed too large. There are no bags to carry these rocks in and you will need to carry them around until you leave for the most part. There is a table you can leave them on while you continue to shop or explore, but there are no bags to store them in. Whole some information overlaps in tours and can get repetitive for folks who have been to each, they have their own charm, and I enjoyed them. We did learn a lot about the salt mines and the tour guides were all quite educational and friendly. The shaft to get down/up can be a little shaky and sometimes they leave the light inside off. We did on the way down and I felt a little dizzy after - they will turn it on if you ask, it's not a big deal. It was much better on the way up with it on. They have all sorts of events going on, and if we were closer, we'd definitely check them out. This place is worth visiting for sure. Children will find some enjoyment, though it is mostly a museum. The special events might be something they would enjoy more.

We had so much fun looking and learning about the mine and all the history. I recommend going on all 3 rides thru the mine. Be sure to get your rocks too! The museum was fascinating and don't worry if you don't have enough time to walk thru it before going into the mine, you will have plenty of time after. It's hard to believe you are 650 ft underground! This looks us a little over 3 hours. I will go here again if I get in the area again!

Strataca review WE GOT THE SHAFT!!! 😁 We went down a mine shaft today that is. Toured Strataca, a former salt mine section 650 feet below Hutchison, Kansas. Starting with a 90 second hoist ride down at 10:00 AM and ending with a 90-second hoist ride back up at 2:30 PM, we saw a lot of exhibits explaining the history and techniques of salt mining. The sections we were in were actively mined beginning in the late 1940's through the late 1950's. Active mining has been ongoing and continues to this day mining horizontally at the 650 foot depth. It's all connected, but the current active mining is now about 2 miles away from the section we were in. Besides walking in various exhibit areas, we also got to take 3 tram/train tours back through different sections. We definitely recommend doing the combo-pass to include the "salt safari". It was not "claustrophobic" as the mined sections were all about 50 feet wide and 10 feet tall. It is a consistently about 67 degrees down there every day all year round (very nice). These mines produce road salt, not table salt. One of the rules in the safety briefing was "Don't lick the salt." 👅 Sections of mined out areas are now used for safe, secure, climate controlled, dry storage (as salt naturally removes moisture from the air). We also got to see some of the storage area and some artifacts from movie companies that are stored here. A great experience and well worth the time and admission.

My wife wanted to go to this and I wasn't too excited about it to be honest. But when we got in 650 ft below the ground level and started looking around this is a really cool place. I would recommend anybody taking an afternoon to go in and checking it out. Lot of very cool history down here

We drove from Topeka Friday morning, June 20, 2025. We bought the Combo Pass which included the Salt Safari and the Salt Blast. We had a great time! It was nice and cool, 68 degrees, 650' underground. (97 degrees outside that day) The staff were all very friendly and well informed in all facets of the mine. The tram tours and train ride were fun and informative. Everyone has such a wonderful sense of humor! We also stopped by the gift shop and bought a couple of T shirts to have a remembrance of our time there. We would recommend adding Strataca to your bucket list!

Had a blast exploring this active salt mine with just a flashlight. You step back in time by visiting areas of the mine that were mined in the 40's & 50's. Everything is perfectly preserved as it was when the miners left that area of the mine. You can even experience total mine darkness, which is cool and creepy at the same time. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Evan and Barry were our guides, they do a great job telling you the story of the mine as they take you back to the 1940s & 1950s. This gem is certainly worth a visit.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL zoo!! The entire zoo is very clean to include the bathrooms. There is a large assortment of animals to see & the animals appear quite healthy. There are bathrooms scattered throughout the zoo. A large amount of motorized scooters with and without shade are available for rental (in the $30 range for the entire day.) There are also motorized animals like the ones in malls for rent-I believe they were $26/hour. A cup can be purchased for $10 that gets you free refills for the day. We really enjoyed feeding the giraffes and petting & feeding the stingrays! Such a special place. We really enjoyed ourselves. Plan a whole day here so you can see everything!

Had a wonderful Saturday exploring the Sedgwick County Zoo with two friends! We booked our tickets online, which I highly recommend—it was simple and saved us $25 total ($5 per ticket) compared to the gate price. ​The zoo itself is beautiful and was decorated with these incredible, giant animal lanterns from some kind of special event. The snow leopard and butterfly displays we saw were a magical touch and made the walkways even more fun. We spent most of our day exploring the Africa, South America, and Australia sections, and the habitats are truly world-class. ​A few tips for your visit: ​Arrive Early! The zoo is HUGE. We weren't able to see the North America section because we ran out of time. To cover everything without rushing, I'd say the best time to get there is between 10 and 11 AM. ​Check for Closures: We were disappointed to find the Cessna Penguin Cove was closed for maintenance. It’s probably a good idea to check their website before you go. ​Animal Naps are Real: It was a sunny day, so the lion and tiger were snoozing in the shade, and we couldn't find the red panda. It happens, but if you want to see them active, an earlier or cooler day might be better! ​Even with the few things we missed, it was an amazing day out. It’s a top-notch zoo and a fantastic value.

My Service Dog’s first visit did not disappoint! Employees were knowledgeable upon our arrival and directed us in to receive his staff-shirt-colored bandana (unfortunately not a keepsake and must be returned upon exit) and map of restricted areas for him (not many, and each of the restricted buildings had a very clearly labeled sign for SD’s on the entrance). There are no dedicated relief areas but many grassy lawns with a cluster of trees or bench you can duck behind to be more discrete. It was so fun to see all the exhibits through my pup’s eyes. The “wild lights” statues and things were set up which made for twice as many cool things to look at in addition to the animals- highly recommend going during this time! Lots of animals were up close and/or moving- we had the luck of a warm but breezy day so no one was scorching, but you still want to wear sunscreen, pack water, and plan to walk! The Beastro makes for a great lunch midday- the Falafal Caesar Salad was surprisingly AMAZING! Thanks so much SCZ- we will be back! (We wish we could have kept our pup’s bandana as a memento! Please let this be an option next time- we would buy it if needed :)

I was visiting from out-of-state and had to go to this zoo. It was beautiful and did not disappoint! The animal habitats were nicely laid out, and animals could be clearly seen. The penguin encounter was closed due to new glass replacement, and the stingray exhibit was closed for the season, but everything else was great. It was pretty with the lantern decorations even in the daytime. I would also recommend the train ride.

Really great zoo. My kids always have a great time going here. We saw an orangutan painting. Gorillas next to us and the elephants out n about on our train ride. We also saw some of the light exhibit. If you're ever bored, go here. $$$

I absolutely love the Sedgwick County zoo. We are members of the Rolling Hills zoo because we live in Salina, but if we lived closer we’d be members of the Sedgwick County zoo in a heart beat. This zoo is clean, large enough to spend a good several hours, but not so large you need multiple days, and it’s obvious they care deeply for their animals.

What can I say about the local zoo? Lots of walking, plenty of things to see and do. Coming up on winter, many of the animals are off exhibit this time of year and there are many places under construction. However, the enclosures are generous, the staff is super friendly, and the overall traffic is pretty low so seeing your favorite animal is always easy...almost never more than a minute or two wait due to traffic. Wife and kids love this place, just make sure to pack some snacks if you're making a day of it. While the concessions are available, they're expensive for everything as it's a funding source for the zoo. Overall, it's a good time for the family and a great way to spend a day with the family if you grab the membership for the year like we do.

My kids 8 & 11 loved it here! This ended up being one of our best stops on our road trip! We came during an evening and although we saw it all, we had to make our way through very quickly and I wished we had planned more time. It's a very big place!! The carousel wasn't working the evening but the attendant took the time to show us the automatic music machine, which was kind of like a player piano and honestly I think we enjoyed it more than we would have the actual carousel ride. I was so grateful for that attendant's time and patience to show us that! This is an absolutely gorgeous place! If I lived closer, I would visit here weekly!

Went on a Wednesday afternoon. No crowds. Bigger than I expected. Great price at $13. Totally worth it. Lots of butterflies. Helpful staff. Wish there were more water stations throughout the park. Maybe I just didn't see them.

So happy with my membership! I love having access to the beautiful gardens. This is my favorite place in Wichita. It brings me so much peace to visit this natural space. Botanica truly improves our community. Becoming a member has profoundly increased my well-being and quality of life. Thank you!

Botanica was absolutely beautiful! My daughter in an aspiring photographer so she loved the experience of being able to take her own photos (not shared below as they are still being developed). We loved how everything was labeled so it was easy to identify. The fountain was definitely my favorite as it was surrounded my lilies, my favorite flower. The only downside is that there isn't anywhere to really cool off. It was super hot and while we were able to find shade and some relief in the building with the carousel, that was about it. We skipped a good section of the gardens just to get back to the main lobby and hang out in the children's lobby to cool off.

We enjoyed strolling through this vibrant, well-curated garden for a couple of hours on a lovely day. With a butterfly house, several playgrounds and kid-friendly facilities, it’s the perfect place for the whole family to spend time together. Highly recommended.

A must visit in Wichita! We spent about an hour here and it was beautiful. It is super well taken care of. The many flowers and butterflies were our highlights. Make sure to stop by the butterfly garden, which is magical. Will absolutely be back when I’m next in Wichita!

The garden sculptors are the best that I've ever seen and I've seen many!! The children's garden is unique and very creative. Even though the gardens are well past there height, I was not disappointed

I've visited The Keeper of the Plains multiple times now during my various wandering and adventures around wichita, and everytime i pass by the area i make an effort to stop and rest here. The history, culture and education you can find here is educational for the kids, insightful for the average person, and Enlightening for the elderly. The smell of the fresh river water, The sounds of flutes and drums on the wind, there's no reason not to visit when you're in the region!

This place is incredibly beautiful. There's a bunch you can learn, and even more gravesites than you would think. There may also be a creepy looking troll somewhere in the area around the statue. Peaceful music plays, a nice water fountain with nice cold water. It's a nice place to just sit nearby and relax. At night, 9pm, fires are lit in the containers around the Keeper for around 15mins.

While on vacation, I wanted to check out a local park. We went to Keeper of the Plains. Upon arriving you can see a large statue and music playing. The surrounding scenery is very nice. Lots of history to read. Very unique and very cool park. Worth stopping at if you're in the area.

Neat stop. Free parking on both sides of the bridge. I would get there about 830 as it gets busy. Good to walk around a bit and look at everything before they light it. You can stand under it ( next to fire) or there are benches on both sides of the river. We didn't get to see the torched lit as it was too windy. Don't forget to look for the troll. He's on the east side. Past the sitting area, up the sidewalk. You can see him better at night.

Such a great moment for our visit to Wichita. We found it to be a pensive experience with great music and people reflecting upon the lighting of the fires. The bridges alone are worth the walking experience.

This is a pretty cool place in town minus a few graffiti marks here and there. Wish people wouldn't vandalize things like this. However, it is definitely worth the stop to check it out and walk around.

I stayed here overnight in my skoolie (using Harvest Host). The area is beautiful, especially at night. The museum was wonderful!

We love visiting Coronado Heights! The views from the top are absolutely stunning—some of the best in Kansas, especially sunset! The hike up is short but steep, making it a great hill workout with a rewarding payoff. It’s a peaceful spot to explore, take photos, and soak in the scenery. A beautiful and unique place to visit in Kansas—highly recommend!

We were staying in Lindsborg, so figured we would check out this area. There was a steady group of tourists at the site while we were there so it must be popular. The views are very good of the valley below. Pretty much a 360 view of the lower elevations. There are some hiking trails in the area, but with high humidity and temps over 100, we didn't think it was a good idea to experience those. There is the main castle which has stairs to get to the top level (but not to the top of the tower). Nice views, cooler, some benches to sit on. Nice photo angles looking through the windows. I'm sure sunrises and sunsets would be pretty memorable from here. There is another foundation located on the site across from the castle. There are numerous little "pods" that are along the hillsides with picnic tables in them. Great views, relaxing, but so hot! The other building looked cool so we walked over to it. There were long slits for windows. I figured it was something military based. However, upon entering this building, we realized it was the restroom!

On our way back from Kansas, we stopped at this place. It's way out in the middle of nowhere and has great views. It's an old tourist attraction built in the 30s. It's very cool. If you find yourself in the area, stop in and check it out. Be great for a sunrise or sunset.

What a pleasant surprise out in the middle of Kansas! I can't wait to come back and visit on a beautiful day and have lunch on one of the picnic sites with the amazing views.

This place is pretty cool yet it's very rundown. Built in the '30s and probably modernize or updated at some point in time. The facility has some really old vault toilet. I did not see any running water anywhere nor did I see any actual trail markers at any point. The trail and surrounding areas was what due to rain so if we didn't venture much further than the actual grounds and the road. There are a large number of outdoor picnic areas which can be challenging for anyone to get to because they are built into the natural landscape of the surrounding area. There are appears to be a section that potentially existed at one time and has completely collapsed due to a rock / mudslide. One of the chimney exist yet there are no picnic tables or other areas around it. The volt toilet is ancient and old and a reach really bad as it appears to have been emptied an ages. There are no modern convenience for safety items. There appears to be a newer slab at the entrance of the castle which has a pretty rough floor. If you are capable and willing to traverse this area it's well worth the effort and experience to come here and visit it. If you have challenges it might not be the best place. As for the grounds and the picnic area is unlikely that anyone uses it often. There are weeds growing up in every crack and crevice all around. The real plus side to this visit was the stunning view due to the higher elevation.

We just happened to come across this place while exploring Kansas and WOW. The view from the top of the castle was amazing.

Gorgeous landscape with a few winding paths around the hill. Definitely recommend having a picnic as there are planning if places that were build around the castle for such a thing. We enjoyed spotting all kinds of flowers.

It really puts you in the heart of the Flint Hills. The staff at the visitor center were helpful and knowledgeable. It is definitely a moderate hike. Lots of elevation changes. The views are spectacular! We saw two or three bison. The hike to lookout point and back was around 3 hours. Great experience.

This is worth a stop! The prairie is beautiful and bustling with life, and we enjoyed walking around the main house and visiting the visitor center. We only did the nature loop because we had our dog with us, but there are many more trails! There is a water fountain and clean restrooms. It gets very hot very early on in the day.

We took the bus tour and were amazed at the variety of animals we saw on this unspoiled prairie. The buffalo herd was pretty far away but a few of the loners were near the trail. The walk through the barn and house was also interesting. well worth the stop.

Such an incredible experience! We got to visit with the park rangers a bit and then hit the trails. Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat if you come in June! There are so many trails to visit we ran out of time to try them all (a good problem to have!). I can't wait until we come back again!

This place is beautiful! We loved the view and the trails. We also didn't have to wait or buy any tickets because it's free. It has great staffs with water fountains and restroooms if you need anything before and after hiking. Overall, I think this is the place for you if you like hiking and the outdoors.

A highly recommended stop. Located right off of Highway 177. This is one of the Prairie lands and the United States beautiful wild flowers heard of buffalo you may see Longhorn and Brock horn. You’re more than welcome to hike the mini trails. We took the bus tour.

I especially drove to Kansas to see this Prairie, a tiny beautiful remnant of what was. Thank you Nature Conservancy!! We hiked 4 miles round trip into the Windmill Pasture and saw 7 Bison. Wish there had been more. Eerie to see them with nothing but Big Blue Stem between you. We came in early May, would like to return after Memorial Day and late summer to see more color. Would also like to return for stargazing, trails are open 24/7. Four miles in the Sun and we were tired, imagine walking alongside a covered wagon for 15 miles a day for 6 months, half the visitors we saw never went beyond the visitors center.
